I would get rid of the tax return process as the only purpose for its existence is to waste the time of poor people and thus keep the government boot on their face.

nitter is just the same censorship and rage. you still have to click Load More 100 times to read the full 3% of opinions that were not completely censored. it’s a place for stupid people to go and say things like “I support Will Smith” and pretend they are an internet celebrity

thanks for pointing that out!

How can you believe it is? I'm legitimately struggling to understand how you came to such a misguided conclusion.

“I’ve also been thinking what I would want “heaven” to be. Eternal life doesn’t appeal to me much.”

please tell me more!

“…what brings the company most money, megacorporation pushing slushy mass.... Jesus!! Man, didn't know recsys invokes such vitriol.”

yes, corporations do whatever makes the most money. pointing that out has nothing to do with emotions. welcome to the real world.

(photo)realism is not inherent to gaming. the end result would be a perfect simulation of the physical world.

“ BARDOT SMITH CALLS herself a “corporate finance escapee.” Petite and exuding intellect, she looks the part, but for the past 10 years she’s been involved in a different industry: the precarious world of sex work. She is also, alongside a growing community of sex workers, actively challenging Silicon Valley’s status quo through research and activism. I first encountered her work in the form of an essay she wrote for the critical Silicon Valley publication Model View Culture in 2014. In it, she argued that “[t]he increasing presence of women’s skill and success represents a challenge to tech culture” and that “[w]omen’s success and agency are in direct conflict with an industry culture that caters to the priorities—and egos—of males.” Her words resonated and stuck with me.”

Is this satire?

"For a lot of people, what is even the point of living if there's no retirement to enjoy?"

The point is you are supposed to be helping other people in some way. Not just being a useless turd and forcing young functional people pay rent to you so that you can do nothing but sit on your fat ass and shit in your diaper. They also lived in a society that was much more prosperous than any young person ever will. Considering that now everything is ruined, it's hard not to look at them and imagine they share some small part of the blame.

Maybe if people cared less about saving up a big sum for themselves to "enjoy their retirement", aka being a self-centered moron, then the world wouldn't be such a shithole today.

Why are there no more Einsteins, von Neumanns, etc, anymore? Is Terry Tao the closest thing we have? Does DARPA (or some TLA or foreign equivalent) just snatch these people up early on in life? Why isn't Srouji working for something like DARPA? Are there people even better than Srouji working for something like DARPA?

"I think it's great reading for anyone who believes homelessness is an issue that can be solved by throwing free housing at people."

By definition, if you give someone a home, they are not homeless.

"Andre lives in an apartment"

So he's not homeless.

"Homelessness is a social phenomenon, not an economic wart caused by expensive housing."

The problem with Andre is that he steals stuff. He's not homeless. Not every homeless person steals stuff or is an evil person.

The problem is the money is going to the wrong people. There are a lot of good and honest people that are homeless and/or struggling to pay their rent. Andre isn't one of them. Andre gets his housing for free while other people freeze and are basically forced to kill themselves. Why is that?

censorship is not a veggie smoothie. stopped reading there

“ Seriously what the f*ck makes Gabriel Weinberg think that myself, or anyone else, gives a damn about his personal opinion on what I should and should not be reading.”

he doesn’t care, he’s just another rich baby that needs to project his own stupidity onto the workers whose labor creates his upper class lifestyle

the problem is the stuff getting downranked is going to be the real information. the powerful people who control everything, including the news, are going to push propaganda and censor in whatever way makes themselves richer at the expense of everybody else, which is how they got to be in that position in the first place

“ Ukraine is every year more prosperous”

jesus christ. stopped reading here

i know what an algorithm is and it doesn't involve some human making a decision to remove russian content from the internet.

“ Because one side is busy shelling and starving civilians right now?”

well technically the ukranians were doing the shelling first, starting on february 17th, killing ethnic russians in donbas. but you probably dont know that bc of the censorship. so basically you want propaganda amplified because you arent aware it’s propaganda, and have no way of figuring out it’s propaganda bc you want everything else to be censored.

“ There is very, very obviously a "bad guy" here, and most of the world (even outside the US/NATO sphere of influence) seems to agree on this point.”

no not really, china and india dont agree and thats half the world

“ It's one of the key goals of Russian information warfare”

were you born yesterday? do you not remember the iraq war? babies in incubators? vietnam? syrian gas attacks? russiagate? qanon? the 2014 ukraine coup? these are all things created by western TLAs. im not gonna read anything else you wrote but i noticed at the bottom you said

“knowledge is power”

wow thanks for that powerful insight!

Stopped reading at “censorship responsibility”.

In order to begin being an actual useful resource on the internet they have to, among other things, get rid of the feature where you have to click "load more" 10 times to read the small fraction of replies to a Tweet that Twitter does not censor completely.

If a tweet has 100 replies, it generally only shows the most pro-neocon/PC response, and you have to click "Load More", then it will show 1 more response, you keep clicking "Load More", and eventually there's no more "Load More" button, and you've only seen 5 responses. Where are the other 95 responses that Twitter deemed to be wrongthink?

Why would anyone use a website like that when you're only getting curated propaganda? It's like sitting in front of the TV and only watching ads with no actual content.

Actually, pointing out the hypocrisy is invalid because that means you stand with Putin because Twitter said so. Derp.

"MacOS on ARM handles memory differently, try it you might like it."

Wow, you sure have given me a lot to think about.

M1 mini with 16GB RAM (most possible RAM): $1100

entry studio: $2000

That's a pretty big gap. Basically it means you have to shell out $2000+ if you want to do video editing on any M1 mac. Buying a brand new computer to do video editing that has only 16GB RAM in 2022 is unjustifiable.

$2k+ is too much for most people especially young "creatives" that are making entertainment (videos). Lots of people here make hundreds of thousands a year but none of those people make that money doing video editing or working in entertainment.

Don't a lot of people want a computer in the 1000-2000$ range? The average person who wants to do video editing on an M1 mac just wants >=32GB of RAM. The only way to get that is to shell out $2000+.

M1 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for $1100

M1 Max Mac Studio with 32GB RM and 512GB SSD for $2000

Yeah because nobody ever buys a computer that costs between $1000 and $2000... ?

A 512GB SSD in a $2k computer? People who deal with HD video are going to want at least 1TB right? So it basically starts at $2200?

Is Apple going to release anything anytime soon for the young/not-rich kids who want to do real video editing (need >=32GB RAM)?

"what sane person wants to shoot their peaceful neigbours and relatives?"

Apparently ethnic Russians were being killed in Ukraine (or they have been the last 8 years, but more serious shelling started on February 17, 2022) and that is why Russia invaded.

>Indeed, we're basically watching the real-time implosion of a super-power

Aren't we basically watching Russia conquer Ukraine?

There could be a number of reasons why you can’t figure out Putin’s motivation but no one knows who you are so there is no way of knowing what the actual reasons are.

“I think we can best do that by giving people access to education, health care, housing, food, and physical safety.”

No one is “punishing” anyone. There are homeless people freezing to death who could use the money.

You are conflating life and death necessities like food and shelter with someone wanting to binge drink for 4 years while getting an underwater basketweaving degree.

Bernie did the same thing.
